Hearing the door close, Evelyn finally opened her eyes.
Her nose tingled with a sour feeling. She really wanted to yell at Caden Lockwood and ask him what he truly wanted.
But she still didn’t have the courage.
She thought she would have the right to ask him only after making a series of efforts, right?
At the moment, she really didn’t want to engage in this uncertain battle.
As Evelyn lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, she noticed that there was no noise outside and couldn’t help but get up. In the living room, everyone had already eaten and drunk their fill and went back to their rooms to rest.
Evelyn looked around but didn’t see Caden Lockwood.
Guessing he should be in the study now, she went to the kitchen to make a cup of milk, and then walked toward the study.
After knocking on the door and hearing Caden Lockwood’s voice, Evelyn felt much more at ease.
Seeing Caden was indeed busy with work, Evelyn felt a bit relieved.
He managed such a large company, and so many employees followed his decisions. He truly must be busy!
"Not asleep yet?" Caden frowned, "Evelyn, you need to get more rest."
"I’ll go to sleep in a bit!" Evelyn deliberately softened her tone.
She thought, if she appeared with a mature intellectual beauty, Caden would probably prefer that!
"I made this milk for you, you should drink it! If you’re going to work late, you need to keep up with nutrition!" Evelyn said with a gentle smile.
Looking at Evelyn, Caden felt something was indeed strange about her today.
It seemed... she was being nicer to him than usual!
Why was that?
"Is something wrong?" Caden couldn’t help but ask.
Evelyn’s unusual behavior made him very uncomfortable.
"I just came to bring you some milk!" Evelyn smiled, "You’ve been working so hard to earn money for our family, of course, as your wife, I need to take good care of your health!"
Caden frowned. What Evelyn said seemed reasonable.
But in front of him, she seemed like a different person.
"Drink it up!" Evelyn handed the milk over, "Once you finish drinking, I’ll go to sleep and not disturb your work!"
Caden took the milk, and after giving Evelyn a deep look, he finished the milk.
Evelyn took the cup back, sneaking glances at Caden, then placed the cup on the table and said anxiously, "Oh no! How did you get it all over your mouth?"
Her voice trembled from nervousness.
Just as she finished speaking, she saw Caden reaching out to wipe his mouth, but she quickly held his hand down.
"Let me do it!" Her cheeks flushed red.
Looking at Caden’s handsome face, Evelyn’s heart pounded wildly.
His eyes were sharp and spirited; his nose was high and proud; his lips were thin and sexy.
Oh, my God!
This perfect man could easily stir her girlish heart at any moment.
"Lean down a little." Evelyn whispered, "You’re so tall, I can’t reach."
Caden looked at Evelyn’s hand, clearly, she only needed to raise her hand to touch him.
Though puzzled, he obliged her request.
Evelyn secretly measured. This height was just right.
Before Caden could react, Evelyn stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips.
His lips still carried the sweet fragrance of milk, which smelled especially pleasant, making Evelyn irresistibly tempted.
Although she and Caden had kissed countless times, he was always the one who initiated.
This time, it was her first time taking the initiative. All those practical experiences seemed to vanish instantly, leaving her so nervous that she didn’t know what to do.
